Neymar's rant this Saturday could very well mean the end of Barcelona's title hopes in La Liga.
The Brazilian player is set to miss next weekend's game against Real Sociedad after being sent off, but what he didn't expect was an additional two-match ban for mocking the game's fourth official as he left the pitch.
Barcelona's No. 11 was mad after being sent off, but chose to show his emotions by clapping at the fourth referee in a derogatory fashion. Referee Gil Manzano added this to the match report, which will surely prompt La Liga to take action and suspend the player.
Although Barcelona is expected to appeal this ruling, Neymar's chances of getting away from a ban are slim, considering that Luis Suárez had to endure a similar punishment for disapproving the ref's decisions during the Copa del Rey tie against Atlético.
